The protagonist of Sandman is Dream, the immortal anthropomorphic personification of dreams and storytelling. He is known by an array of names, most often Morpheus, but also Oneiros, Lord Shaper, the Prince of Stories, and, rarely, "the Sandman". He is one of a family of sevensiblings known as the Endless, each of whom personifies some aspect of reality, such as Death or Desire. ( Example from Wikipedia )
Just another ficticious character that parents invented because they believe that they are "Fun for kids." The Sandman is supposedly the person that wisks children away into dreamland by sprinkling sand on their eyes, explaining the children's eye-crust in the morning.
"Mommy, why is there this stuff in the corner of my eye when I wake up?"
"Ummm... Oh! The sandman puts it there sweety."
"Ohhhh."
